I'm saying that practically nobody feels that they're talented.
That's what makes us strive to improve.
As we strive to improve
we notice the people around us improving too
which makes us work even harder.
In a way, I guess you could say friends are like rivals

Choujin Locke (Psychic Locke, Locke the Superman) is arguably more powerful hero.
He has all the psychic abilities, immortal, can create force fields so powerful he can safely guide an entire planet through a burning star without harming the planet.... Dude is practically a god.

It would be one of those hard to tell comparison, as there won't be much of a galaxy left after the clash.

Location: Somewhere over the rainbow, in a house dropped on an ugly, old woman.

As for strongest, we can probably pick out several god-like characters. But if we want to strike the god-like characters and go for someone still human, my pick would be (and for coolest as well), Nanoha.

Mostly coolest, because she keeps her head in any situation and doesn't whine. She knows what needs to be done, and has the strength of heart to do it, regardless of what else is going on.

Edit: And I must note her career statistic of 18 wins against 4 losses remains a "lifetime achievement" record in the history of saimoe, and she is one of the few, if only, female characters to win in the SaiGAR tournament (which is a manliest tournament).

DoraMed III from Doraemons. Can control his size at will, has various magical powers (over seemingly anything and everything), has a 4th dimensional magic lamp (which all Doraemons have a form of) and can predict the future.

Lynn Minmei from Macross. She can end interstellar wars with just her voice. She is so powerful that she even made her seiyuu a star .

The Great Will of the Macrocosm from Excel Saga. Great Will had the power to rewrite reality on a weekly basis...and often had to due to the hijinks of ACROSS.

Mokona from Magic Knight Rayearth. A God and creator of the universe.

Luckyman from Tottemo! Luckyman!. Everything about Luckyman is counter intuitive to this discussion. Ridiculously weak, slow as a snail, and stupid as sin. But, Luckyman has the greatest power of all: Luck. He always rolled a critical hit or had something happen that would defeat any foe. Trully one of the most powerful characters in existence.

Yeah, dude's literally a walking representation of Deus Ex Machina, nothing can touch him... but he's a GAG MANGA CHARACTER! A freakin Bugs Bunny.
Or rather, Squirell Girl and Bugs had sex and had a baby, it'd be him.

However there is no "strongest" character, because the physically strongest can always be countered by certain special abilities. For example Goku could win against most other anime characters, but guess what.... if he does it right, Yagami Light could kill Goku, because Goku likes to talk before a fight begins... and others could easily kill Light, before he could even blink. Sometimes it depends on powers/abilities and sometimes it depends on the personalities.

Gilgamesh(Fate Zero) - King of Heroes, arrogant, has claim to every treasure in the world and a sadistic jerk - what more do you want?

And has a sword that can split heaven and earth and cut the world (and return the world to nothing, that's why he doesn't use Ea 100% power outside of any Reality Marble/Marble Phantasm).

Friendship, be made! Magical power, gather! Starlight Breaker.... this world!

For guys, i'd say Sebastian Michaelis. He is so handsome but deadly. He is strong and collection but when he see a kitten, he just melts.
For girls, I'd say Inner Moka from Rosario + Vampire. She's so cool, strong and makes sure people knows their place. She may be scary but she cares and protects others in any kind of danger.

The first question is just a power level argument without any relative context. I mean if you take a few figures from Nisio's work and you see why it is pointless to even discuss over. Power level is demonstrated as something within the context between characters and settings and not between completely different series. I think Zaregoto demonstrates this meta attribute of the concept quite well.

Coolest? Hei from Darker than Black maybe. So far he has Yin, Bai, and Amber. Lolis in three different colors. I am immensely jealous. Then he gets Shion. Now I am mad.
